| 1 | # funnel-strategy — research skill |

| 3 | Infer and structure your sales funnel based on your GTM motion. Reads ICP + positioning (if locked) and your website signals to produce pre-close + post-close stages with qualification criteria per stage. Output: `marketing/funnel/funnel-strategy.md`. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When to use |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Early in the engagement, after ICP research is in place — defines the stages every downstream skill assumes |
| 8 | - When the GTM motion is shifting (e.g., PLG → Hybrid as enterprise deals start landing) |
| 9 | - Quarterly refresh if win/loss data suggests stages are misaligned with reality |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## When NOT to use |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - For lead scoring logic per account — use `/lead-scoring` after this is locked |
| 14 | - For lifecycle email campaign design — use `/lifecycle-marketing` after this is locked |
| 15 | - If you already have a documented funnel that the team trusts — skip this; it's already done |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Inputs |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - **Recommended:** `marketing/icp/ICP.md` (the champion + economic buyer help identify stage transitions) |
| 20 | - **Recommended:** `marketing/positioning/positioning.md` (status-quo alternatives often map to closed-lost re-entry signals) |
| 21 | - Your company website URL (Exa fetches + reads it) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## What it produces |
| 24 | |
| 25 | `marketing/funnel/funnel-strategy.md` with these sections: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - **GTM motion classification** — PLG / SLG / Hybrid, with evidence from website + ICP signals |
| 28 | - **Pre-close stages** — typically 4–6 stages (Aware → Engaged → Qualified → Discovery → Evaluation → Closed-Won) |
| 29 | - **Post-close stages** — Onboarding → Activated → Habitual → Expansion (or Churn-Risk → Recovered) |
| 30 | - **Per-stage definitions** — what triggers entry, what defines progression, what qualification criteria gate the next stage |
| 31 | - **FETE mapping** — Fit / Engagement / Tier / Eligibility signals per stage |
| 32 | - **Closed-lost re-entry paths** — how leads that dropped out get back in |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ## Example run |
| 35 | |
| 36 | In your terminal: `/funnel-strategy` |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Claude reads your ICP + positioning files + fetches your website, then walks you through the GTM motion classification. Edits the draft with you, then writes the final to `marketing/funnel/funnel-strategy.md`. |
